Iran’s slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has been buried at the country’s holiest Shia shrine more than four months after he was killed by a US-Israeli strike on his compound in central Tehran.

State media reported early on Friday that he had been buried in his birthplace of Mashhad at the Shrine of Imam Reza, a vast religious complex with a large golden dome and flanking gilded minarets at the heart of the city.
